Citing that in 1777 the Commonwealth of Vermont became the first sovereign state in the world to abolish slavery the coalition, the coalition is now advocating a similar nation adoption of Vermont legal precedence. On May 26, 2011. Vermont became the first state in the U.S. to commit itself to establishing a truly universal single-payer healthcare plan that includes workers' compensation medical care.
